Travel+Leisure hailed Koh Samui in Thailand as its Best Asia-Pacific Island Destination at the 2024 run of its annual Luxury Awards.

According to the official notice of distinction, Travel+Leisure judges selected Koh Samui for the longstanding appeal of its tropical environment, as well as the exceptional range of luxury accommodations available in the area.

Some of the world’s best island delights

Koh Samui’s beaches were one of the strongest factors leading to the island’s selection as the world’s premier luxury island destination.

The island paradise is best known for the pristine nature of Chaweng and Lamai, beaches characterised by fine white sand and clear coastal waters. 

Likewise, the presence of luxury resorts like the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui and the InterContinental Samui Baan Taling Ngam Resort has proven a major draw to foreign travellers who enjoy their amenities, gracious service, and numerous options for leisure, dining, and entertainment,
